COMMUNITY R-6 GIRLS: The Lady Trojans took third place in the Madison tournament losing to a very physical Hallsville team that at times can put three six-footers on the floor. They made a trip to the Final Four in Class 3 last year and have reloaded with a cast of new players who are getting better with every game, said R-6 coach Bob Curtis. "Coach Blakemore does an excellent job with them," said the R-6 coach. "It was a good test for us against a much bigger school. We will bounce back after a couple of tough losses," he added. Junior Leah Mayes has been out all week with an ankle injury, but will return this week.

PARIS GIRLS: Salisbury dominated the Lady Coyotes from the opening tip until the closing buzzer in the championship game of the Madison tournament with Salisbury winning 47-23. The Lady Panthers came out focused and intent on playing their tempo and they handled the Lady Coyotes the entire game. "We have to play at a different pace to be successful and Salisbury did a very good job forcing us to play their game," stated PHS coach Chris Willingham. He added that his team came out timid offensively and defensively and it showed as Salisbury jumped out to a 14-2 lead in the first quarter. The Coyotes did a better job in the second quarter on both ends of the court to play even with Salisbury. There was a lot of the same in the second half as Salisbury controlled the boards on both ends and controlled the tempo for the entire game. "We are disappointed with our showing in the championship game, not disappointed to get beat by Salisbury who is a very good team, but disappointed in ourselves," said the coach. "We had a nice tournament and put together a nice 5-game winning streak heading into the championship game, so we have a lot to be excited about," said Willingham. He added they have to refocus and get back on track this week with conference play against Westran and Slater.
